Folk duo to play in Shrewsbury church
Two of the country's finest proponents of folk music will be playing in a Shrewsbury church this autumn.
Steve Knightley and Phil Beer, who make up Show of Hands, will be in concert at St Mary the Virgin on October 26.
The duo have successfully toured the UK, playing in churches around the country and have sold out the Royal Albert Hall five times over.
Steve said: “In 2010 we played a few landmark cathedrals, and it just worked.
"There’s something about the ambience, sanctity and rich history of a cathedral that lends itself perfectly to what we do. It’s going to be a really special tour. We’ll be bringing out some of the classics of course, but we’re also excited to be able to showcase brand-new material in truly unique settings.
"We know St Mary's is not a cathedral, but how could we pass up the chance of playing in a church with one of the tallest spires in England and world-famous stained glass.”
Special guest Kirsty Merryn joins the tour – a singer/songwriter who the pair have discovered and are keen to bring on.
